Mo Brownlee BA RN RM ADM IBCLC
Hello, and welcome! I’m Mo, a dedicated Midwife and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) based in Edinburgh.
My journey in healthcare began with nursing before I pursued my passion for midwifery, qualifying in 1986. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience across varied aspects of midwifery, including clinical practice, management, and teaching. However, my true calling emerged in the field of breastfeeding and lactation support.
From 2012, I had the privilege of working in the Lothian Breastfeeding Clinics, where I supported mothers facing a range of breastfeeding challenges, from simple concerns to more complex situations. It was rewarding to guide and empower families, helping them confidently achieve their breastfeeding goals.
In 2017, I established my private practice, allowing me to provide even more personalised and specialist care. Committed to deepening my expertise, I undertook further lactation studies and was successful in 2018 by passing the International Board of Lactation Consultants Examination.
- Registered with The Nursing & Midwifery Council
- Registered with The International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners
- Member of The Royal College of Midwives
- Member of Lactation Consultants of Great Britain
Beyond my professional experience, I am also a mother of three—including twins. I know firsthand both the joys and the hurdles of breastfeeding, which has only strengthened my empathy and commitment to supporting other mothers on their unique journeys. I believe that every family deserves compassionate, knowledgeable, and evidence-based support tailored to their individual needs.
If you seek guidance, reassurance, or expert assistance with breastfeeding, you can trust that I will offer a warm, understanding, and experienced approach to help you find the best path for you and your baby.
